Lucas test is usedto make distinction between`1^(@) 2^(@)"and"3^(@)`alcohols
`ROH+underset("conc.")(Hcl)overset("Anhydrous"ZnCl_(2))rarrunderset("White turbidity")(RCIdownarrow)+H_(2)O`
This shows that :
A. ROH behaves as a base
B. greater the value `pK_(a)`(alcohol), greater the reactivity with conc.HCLand thus sooner the formation white turbidity
C. alcohol which reacts fastest with Na metal, will give turbidity at fastest rate
D. alcohol which gives red colour during Victor meyer test, will always give turbidity at slower rate than those giving blue or white colour during Victor Meyer test
